Being a "tough guy" is expensive. According to a study, although "strong men" with strong muscles are more favored by women and have more sexual partners, their immunity is weaker than that of women and small men. Therefore, the lifespan of "strong men" may be shorter.
Men are more muscular than women because they need to fight and hunt. From an evolutionary perspective, a muscular "strong man" not only indicates that he is physically and physically competent, but also that he can support his wife and children and protect his home, making him a good supporter. This ancient aesthetic concept has been used today, so women are also more likely to be attracted to muscular men.
According to research data from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in the United States, maintaining male muscles is not only expensive, but also at the cost of health. The agency surveyed 12000 American men and women over six years and found that men require 50% more calories than women, even after adjusting for different levels of activity.
Research also shows that men's muscle mass is the most important measure of their calorie intake, more important than their occupation and height and body mass index (BMI).
In addition, having more muscle has another cost. Because men spend too much nutrition to maintain muscle strength, their immunity is far inferior to that of women. Therefore, a strong man with more muscle and higher density will have lower immunity and may have a shorter lifespan.
